Now the data to de/encrypt with SSH is always a multiple of the blocksize (cause the SSH protocol takes care of the padding) so is the function EVP_CipherFinal required? There are no partial blocks... Stef -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "openssl-users" group.
